Infinione Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 What's the rush? Vista SP1 seems to work exceptionally well. As far as I understand it there are no performance improvements in SP2 are there? That would be the one thing to make me download and install it right this second. As it is, I'm happy to wait.

erpster3 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 They haven't released it yet, probably won't be released until sometime in May or June.... most likely late May on Windows Update & at the Microsoft Download center. check out this chinese forum thread: http://bbs.pcbeta.com/archiver/tid-460731.html i beg to differ. it will be out very soon. soon only for MS Technet subscribers. for the casual Vista user, it'll be a little later. saw this quote from that chinese forum thread from one poster: Today there were rumors about that supposedly has the second service pack (Service Pack 2) for Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008.This is what we can say at this point that is on the state of affairs at 18 o'clock the evening of 22 April 2009. The first candidate for the final RTM release (Service Pack 2) as we reported previously 6002.18001.090330-1650 assembly, then to "engineering sign-off" on April 8, made a new assembly 6002.18003.090403-1730 but it never took credit rating " vote "because this building was found a serious bug, and immediately after an exchange of views, was collected by a new assembly in which 6002.18004.090408-1820 correct this error:" WinSE Bug 267908: Static IP settings on the host Virtual nics associated with external networks are lost after applying SP2 ". Once again this April 10, has been collected build a new Service Pack 2 (build number to call will not), which yesterday, ie on 21 April and discussed at the "engineering sign-off", the results will be shortly. RTM Build Service Pack 2 will be announced by 29 April, and RTW Service Pack 2 will be available only at the end of May - for Wave 0 - English, Spanish, Japanese, German, French. In any case, we are ready to provide you with the final assembly of Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 with SP2 and is integrated with Service Pack 2 as soon as a number of final assembly.

jamesVault Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 As far as I understand it there are no performance improvements in SP2 are there? http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd335035.aspx SP2 contains changes that are focused on addressing specific reliability, performance, and compatibility issues, supporting new types of hardware, and adding support for several emerging standards. SP2 also continues to improve upon the IT administration experience. SP2 is not intended to be a vehicle for releasing new features; however, some existing components do gain slightly enhanced functionality in SP2.

Also Office SP2 gave insane boost to outlook for some reason. I am talking about fully loaded OS here. Visual Studio, SQL Management Studio, Adobe Photoshop, and some other must have apps.

Subject Delta Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Vlite won't slipstream it, guess we will have to wait for the official slipstreamed images to come onto Connect or MSDN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradavon Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 If it is really legit and RTM/Final, why is it not on Microsoft's download site? Hmmm. Suspect! Why the rush? I'll wait until it appears on Microsoft download site and/or Windows Update. Just like I did for SP1 and Office 2007 SP1/SP2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradavon Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Thanks Byron. I didn't think it was. This may very well be SP2 RTM but it's not SP2 RTM "Official". A big difference in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you mean may? It is RTM. Just because it is not available to the public yet does not make it any less certain that build 6002.18005 is the RTM.

Eric Veteran Posted April 29, 2009 Veteran Share Posted April 29, 2009 SP2 is RTM, not RTW. RTW is in the 'not too distant future.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is official, Microsoft have confirmed it with Neowin, information is in the front page article. Annoying that there's no slipstreamed images yet, my system needs a format :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
